Ok so what would you say:
DX: PE, Empyema w/ complete hepatization of the right lower lobe w/complete consolidation and necrotic right lower lobe.
Procedure: Rt Thoracotomy w/ decortication of the entire right chest cavity along with right lower lobe lobectomy.
Would you code 32220 and 32480/ or is one included in the other. Or, is there a completely different code all together.
Thanks,
